A short video tutorial for downloading website data into R using the Rvest package. I have used it countless times in my own RStats web scraping projects, and I have found it to be especially useful for R webscraping projects that involve a static HTML webpage. This guide will also cover installing/using the Selector Gadget tool.
The Rvest package is available on CRAN. Visit www.selectorgadget.com for more information on Selector Gadget.
In this video, we will download web data using RStudio and Google Chrome.
